Launch notes

The flat ocean water and consistent E-ESE winds make this an ideal beginner launch spot. Look for launching from the beach with winds from the east or southeast, avoiding any local obstacles and respecting designated launch zones if established.

Gear & clothing

Gear · A 14-17m kite is ideal for the consistent 10.3kt average winds; consider bringing a range for lighter and stronger days. A twin-tip or directional board works well for flat water progression and freestyle tricks.

Clothing · A light rashguard or short-sleeve wetsuit (1-2mm) is sufficient year-round given the tropical climate; UV protection is more critical than thermal insulation. Booties recommended for potential sharp shells or rocks in shallow areas.

Crowd & etiquette

Stay aware of other kiters and maintain proper spacing downwind. Respect any local fishermen and boat traffic, especially during early morning and evening hours when commercial activity peaks.

Additional notes

The 245 windy days per year make this a reliable destination; July through December offers the most consistent conditions. Check local weather reports and tidal patterns, as flat water spots can be affected by tidal range in this region.
